We began the book of Mark at our first Sunday Service at the Swedish American Hall. Here we finish Mark’s story of Jesus at the Herbst Theater on Easter Sunday. Pastor Dave teaches on what the Resurrection of Jesus means and how it changes everything in Mark 15:40-16:8.

Why did Jesus not allow people to speak about Him during His Ministry? Some scholars call this the Secret Messianic Motif. Pastor Dave talks about how you don’t really know Jesus until you know Jesus on the cross in Mark 1 & 5.

God has revealed Himself to humanity through the history of this world. But He has never done so like He has through Jesus. Pastor Tarik speaks about the great joy of the upcoming birth of Christ in Luke 2:1-10.

Here we are in the New Year. Have you set goals for this new year? What about expectations? Dave Dealy speaks on focusing our hopes and expectations on the great promises of God that have eternal value in Luke 2:25-40.

The church of Sardis had a reputation of being alive and functioning as a church, but was rebuked for being dead and not alive in Christ. Pastor Dave and Britt speak of the church of Sardis as a warning and encouragement as we continue to grow as a church in San Francisco.

We often find ourselves where Thomas is with all hope lost and life completely uncertain. How do we deal? What do we hold on to? Al Abdulla speaks on finding this courage in times of uncertainty in John 20: 19-34.

John Mark Comer, the author of Loveology, opened up the topic of dating to our church. John Mark spoke for the first half of the night on a brief history of dating, various ways we tend to approach dating culturally and our calling to build relationships on a solid foundation in Christ. For the second half of the night we invited a panel of four up to answer questions from our church-body. Topics discussed include general dating & singleness, relationships, purity, love, and marriage.

People in our church who work in or are part of the tech, startup or advertising industries were invited to a discussion on how to be a steward of Christ in the workplace. The discussion was aimed at answering two main questions:

What does it mean to have a clear understanding of how to live a Jesus-centered life while working in the high-demand tech industry?

How do you create a space for human flourishing for you personally and for the people you interact with while conducting business?

At the Tech and Spirituality Forum, Dave Blanchard from Praxis, a kingdom-centered accelerator, Julie Barrios, our Spiritual Formation Director, and a panel of six from within our church began conversation around these topics.

Dave Lomas teaches from Exodus 15:22-16:35 on Israel’s struggle in the wilderness after their deliverance and how it mirrors our own challenging experience of knowing and following Jesus in this world.

Dave Lomas and RSF Director of Children’s Ministry Marissa Smit introduce our new sermon series, “Everyday Mystic: Living in Union with God & Cultivating a Life of Intimacy,” teaching from John 15 and 17, Colossians 1, and Ephesians 2 and 3.
